Where I Live

I don't actually live in Boston. I live in a dissolved municipality just west of Boston proper, called Brighton. I guess it's officially a neighborhood of Boston, but I address my mail Brighton, MA. None of this information is particularly important, except to say that when you visit Boston for vacations or business trips, you probably don't go anywhere near my apartment. I live on the B Green-Line of the MBTA, which is Boston's subway system. If you asked 100 people in Boston to name the worst train, they would all say the B-Line. It's the slowest train in the history of the world, and I refuse to hear arguments against that statement. I call it the "Old Green Snail". I have often ridden the train to school, and watched out the window as joggers keep up. Aside from the slow train it's a great neighborhood though. According to Wikipedia Michael Bloomberg and John Krasinski (Jim from the Office) were both born here.

--Can you believe The Office is still on by the way? Does anyone still watch it? Who do they think they are keeping that show on after Steve Carell left? I'm going to go the house where John Krasinski grew up and tell them how I feel, whether his parents live there or not, I think it's important that I take care of this.--

This is what my apartment looks like.



Things are getting a little busy in school, but this is a good thing, as we are learning all kinds of new exciting stuff. In my electronic news class we had to do an interview with a classmate about why they came to Boston to go to graduate school. Here is the interview that my buddy Alex did of me. Warning!! You may want to put on a life jacket, so you don't drown in my deep blue eyes.



Now, apparently there is some sort of "Frankenstorm" headed our way next week. But fear not, I have stocked up on all the necessities: beer, lots of candles, and more beer. So, I'll be fine. I do sort of feel like I need to knock off a few bucket list items just to be safe though, so if anyone has any "must do" ideas, please send them my way. For now I'll just hope this storm isn't too bad.

Thanks for reading, talk to you soon.
